YASS. [FsoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] POLICE COURT, APRIL 6-This day Mr. Chapman, Chief Constable, laid an information against Mr. Thompson, Superintendent to John 1Hosking, Esq., of Sydney, for a breach of the Catarrh Act. It ap peared that while Mr. Chapman was riding in the vicinity of the town he discovered a number of sheep lying near the mail road, and on inspecting them found they were diseased. Upon the case being called, the Bench agreed that it should be settled out of Court, which was done accordingly.-[Our correspondent writes that they were scabby; we think he is lunder an error, as Mr. Hosking's sheep are free of that disease.-EnD. G. H.] SUDDEN DEATH,-An awfully sudden death has occurred in our neighbourhood. Mr. Humphrey Thorn, of Parramatta, left home on the 29th ultimo on a visit to his brother, Mr. James Thorn, of tlhe Fish River, at which place he arrived on the 1st of April. On the following morning he complained of great pain in his chest, but refused to have any...

ELECTION OF LOUIS NAPOLEON. [From the Times, Dec. 22.] AT two o'clock on Wednesday, orders were fc?warded by the Government to the Colonels of the 24th regiment of infantry and of two regiments of dragoons to march their corps towards the National Assembly. At three o'clock two battalions of the former and a battalion of kGardes Mobile, preceded by a detachment of National G"ards, entered the garden of the Tuileries, and advanced to the gate of the Place de la:Concorde, a General, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, and es corted by a few lancers, taking his station close to the obelisk. In the mean time the quays adjoining the palace were lined with dragoons. The presence of these troops, which nobody could account for, created much uneasiness, though in some groups a report circulated that the Assembly was about to proclaim the President of the Re public. It appears that the Government on being informed that a demonstration was intended on the occasion of the proclamation of Prince L...

European News. THE English political news is unimportant. There did not appear to be any prospect of a change of ministry before the meeting of Parliament in February. Several elections had taken place. Mr. E. Stanley (eldest son of Lord Stanley) was elected for Llynn, in place of the late Lord George Bentinck, without opposition. For the West Riding of Yorkshire there had been a sharp contest between Mr. B. Denison, Conservative, and Mr. C. E. Eardley, Whig, when the former had a majority of three thousand votes. In the obituary we notice the names of Lord Viscount Melbourne and Mr. C. But ler; also the Duchess of Manchester, and Major-General M'Douall, of Stranraer. The arguments on the writs of error in the Irish cases were concluded, but it was not expected judgment would be delivered before January. We are informed that a report appears in a late paper of a meeting of the shareholders of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, in which the Directors state that they have concluded ...

IRELAND. THE STATE TRIALS. No further intelligence has been received respecting the final issue of the Writ of Error, in the case of the Queen v. Smith O'Brien and others; but if the decision of the Irish Judges should be in favoui' of the ver dict, as was expected, it was not likely that the supreme opinion of the House of Lords could be had in less than five or six months. In the celebrated case of O'Connell and others, where every means were put in requi sition to hasten the result, the case was three months in its progress. TRIAL OF IMR. DUFFY. Charles Gavan Duffy was put on his trial in Dublin on the 14th December, charged, with high treason. He was defended by Messrs. Holmes, Q.C., Butt, Q.C., and Na pier, Q.C. His arraignment is thus described by the Times' Correspondent : " The Clerk of the Crown proceeded to arraign the prisoner in the usual manner. The indictment, which was similar to those previously preferred against Mr. Duffy, charged him, in nine distinct counts, with ...

RIOTS AT ROME.-FLIGHIT OF THE POPE. Rome, Nov. 15. " The minister Rossi has been murdered at the bottom of the staircase of the Chainm ber of Deputies. Yesterday, he held a re view of the corps of carbiniers, to taunt the people, and in the evening was heard to say, 'I will give them a warm reception.' He caused posts of carabaniers to be established in the interior of the city, which greatly . exasperated the people. A considerable crowd had accordingly collected before the Legislative Palace to hoot him. When he alighted from his carriage hisses were heard, and M. 1Rossi imprudently laughed in the face of the people. A man then rushed upon him, stabbed him in the throat with a knife, and. he expired a few minutes after wards in the apartments of Cardinal Gazzoli. All this is official. The assassin is not known. Our letters from Rome of the 16th instant announce on that morning a lamentable in surrection broke out in that city. At 11 o'clock an immense multitude, composed of the po...

TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1840. Before W. H. HOVELL, Esq., J.P.r and LIEUT. BALL, J.P. DRnUNKARDS-WILLIAM NEVIN, appeared to answer an information filed by the Chief Constable, charg ing him with having appeared drunk in the pub lic streets of Gonlburn, on the 5th inst., such being his third offence. Captain Nlovell enquired, whether he was the party whom he had seen carried to the watch-house 'by four constables. The Chief Constable having replied in the affim ative, Captain Hovell said, " then I take it for granted that he was drunk." Mr. Ogle, (who was retained for the defence) But, your worship, there is an information exhibited by the Chief Constable to which the defendant has pleaded not guilty. Captain Hovell :-Bnt I tell you, I saw the man, and I can convict on view. Mr. jOgle:-The defendant comes up here to answer an information, your Worship therefore con not convict him on view: your Worship could be examined as a witness, if it were necessary. The case was then proceeded with. ...

CRICKET. ON Monday last a cricket match was played between the Goulburn and Victoria Cricket Clubs. Although the novices lost, there was some promising play amongst them. Close practice during the coming season will place them in a position to take the field against the Victoria in the spring of the year with reasonable prospect of success. The match was for ten shillings a bat. The following is the result: GOULBURN CRICKET CLUB. lST INNINGS.

MMIGRATION. S&amp;YDNEY, April 10, 1849. .:. never : rains but :it pours,: says-the pro verb, and this:lias beenl fully exemplified by the streams of emigration lately.: showered _ upon us. No fewer than six vessels, bring ing 'n h?addition. to 'our population of some :1500 souls, have entered our harbour within a very short period, and if we go on at this 1rate, surely the cry for labour set up by the parties favouring a recurrence to transporta tion will be" completely hushed, clearly proving that we do not stand in need of forced-or convict labour in any shape. That the Colonists have since the discon tinuance of t1he assignment system suffered materially from the want of a sufficient sup ply of labour, no one attempts, we believe, :.to deny; but this was entirely owing to the mistaken .and 'reprehensible .policy. of: the home government, .who ought. immediately on .the discontinilance of transportation hi ther, if not earlier, to have, sent out. at-the expense of the mother ...

PASSAGES FROM THE Diary, of a late Physician. EARLY STRUGGLES. (Continued from our last.) Sir William was sitting gasping by the fireside, received me with great courtesy; and after motioning his niece, a charming young woman, to retire, told me, he had been s' much interested by my remarks the other day in the Park, that he felt inclined to follow mi.y advice, and put himself under my care altogether. He then entered on a his tory of his complaints. I found his consti tution entirely broken up, and that in a very little while he must fall to pieces. I told him, however, that if he would adhere strictly to the regimen I proposed, I could promise him great if not permanent relief. He'listened to what I said with the utmost interest. " Do you think you could prolong my life, Doctor, for two years ?" said he with emotion. I told him, I certainly could not pretend to promise him so much. " My only reason for asking the question," he replied, " is my beloved niece, that young lady, who h...
